Hi Diane,
So you're yet another John Stephenson descendant! I'm researching on my wife's behalf. She is descended from John Atlantic's brother Albert Peak Stephenson - another one of John's sons with a strange name, given to him because he was born at Peak Hill when his father John Sr. was an agent for Peak Alum Works. Albert Peak had a son Albert Henry and Albert Henry's son was also named Albert Peak - this was my wife's grandfather.
Your John Atlantic heirlooms sound wonderful. Your sudden appearance has generated a bit of activity on Rootschat after a few quiet months. There were several months of enthusiastic contact and swapping of information, followed by a lull which occurred because we all hit a brick wall when it came to finding birth and death details for John Sr.
In the spring my wife and I are going to come out of winter hibernation, get to Geordieland and visit Newcastle Records Office etc. With a bit of luck we'll break through the barrier and find John Sr.'s background.
Regards
David
